My daughter said she would look good in it, so would I!

It would take more than a car to make you look good!

I loved it right up until I saw the taillights. That butt is, well, butt-ugly.

The rear reminds me of the current Camero rear end.

It's growing on me. I wasn't a fan when looking at the red one but it looks really sharp in that dark silver.

Middle age menopause car.

Not sure why but I have never really liked Corvettes.

Re: 2014 C7 Vette

Have to agree with Bruce on this. Not a fan of them either. Not impressed by this version either.
Nowhere for a trailer hitch !!!!

Re: 2014 C7 Vette

I love it too!...it was time for some newer, fresher styling...sorta reminds me of some of the newer Ferrari coupes like the F12 and other European super cars...

The jury is still out for me until the British top gear guys put it through its paces on their track.

Re: 2014 C7 Vette

Do they even do that anymore? Seems all they are doing now is running old footage and calling it "best of" or pulling some stupid prank sort of show that's plain boring. (Used to love the show, not so much today.)

I will have to google, BBC-Top Gear, and see when the new season starts.

I've loved Vettes since I was a kid and that hasn't changed with this one. They've really put a Euro spin on the design over the last decade. I see styling similarities to the Ferrari.

Same here. When I was a kid I took Vette pictures out of Hotrod mags and taped them to my bedroom walls. Also, 'Cudas and what I thought were good looking street rods, aka '32 3 window Fords. Dad wasn't too thrilled when the tape had to come off the wall, paint did too.... To this day. I've never owned a Vette or the others since they are too expensive. Someday I hope to have a Vette in my garage. There are a wide range of years I like, and years I don't like. Starting with a '58 thru now, 2014. '58 is when they went to the dual headlites... Like!

Re: 2014 C7 Vette

Style-wise I'm iffy on it - back end is too "Camaro-ish" which I think looks like a loaded diaper. Front end is trying to bring back that dramatic "stingray" rise on the sides, but I'm not sure it quite get's there.

I'm planning on going up to the NAIA next week. I'll reserve judgement until then.

Re: 2014 C7 Vette

Just makes me wish we didn't get rid of our '58 Vette. It went to Carlisle, PA to Ohio to California, and ended up as a right hand drive in Indonesia!

Re: 2014 C7 Vette

I really liked the styling of the 'vettes of the 50s. Since the first Sting Ray they have looked like over testosteroned, brutal, hairy chested punks. This one even more.

Technically, I like them, if you can like 50s technology developed to a ridiculous degree.

I tend to like elegant, leading edge technology. . .multi cams, multi variable timing valves, DFI, forced induction, etc. ECOTECH and ECOBOOST come to mind.

Re: 2014 C7 Vette

I like it but every Vette I have driven I feel like a giant in it. 6'2"-220 - Way too small & I can look over the windshield in a vert, Not a good look.

Re: 2014 C7 Vette

I still want a '63 split window and all other years don't hold my attraction as much.....
